click on the on the bird. Shoebill bird
I picked this animal because I thought Mrs.Randl didn't knew this animal. I was right. On top 10 this comes in 2nd for the most weridest shape. For its bill looks like a shoe wich is why they call it a Shoebill bird. There are only one type of species like the stork. the can jump as for as they can.
Although the shoebill looks clumsy, it is surprisingly skilled & delicate in its movements. Young shoebills are often exposed to the fierce African heat. The parent bird fetches cool, refreshing water in it enormous, hook-tipped bill and showers it over its young. At other times, it shades the young with its huge body and large, broad wigs
Shoebills are carnivores, meat eaters, which eat mostly fish. They spread out over the water and keep to themselves when they are fishing. Shoebills have three different ways of fishing. They often stand in the water, waiting for prey to swim by. They can stand almost motionless with their bills pointing downward for a half hour or longer. Sometimes they stand on floating plants and watch for prey. Their long toes spread their weight on the plants, but after a while, the birds gradually sink into the water. If there is an open channel of slow-moving water, shoebills might walk slowly along it. Channels are trails that big mammals make through the thick water plants, opening up places where shoebills would not be able to go otherwise.
Shoebills live in central Africa, Tanzania, Cong, Rwanda, southern and northern Uganda. They reproduce by bowing to ech other, clatter their bills, and squael or whine. People aren't suppose to keep them as pets. They can be see in zoo. They are wild animals!
